We have been driving Knaphill passengers to Stansted Airport for over thirty years. The run is 80 miles, 1 hr 45 min to 2 hr 15 min in typical traffic, and every booking is quoted as a fixed price — no meter, no surge, no adjustment if the roads are slow.

The journey

How the 80-mile run works

  1. Pickup

    Your driver arrives at your address, or at a local landmark if that is easier — Knaphill High Street, the Basingstoke Canal and Brookwood station are all regular pickup points in Knaphill.

  2. Out of town

    We leave Knaphill on the A322. Knaphill has no station of its own, so the car is the whole journey rather than a leg of it — most bookings here are door to terminal.

  3. Motorway

    The route joins M3 Junction 3 for the run to Stansted, 80 miles in total.

  4. Arrival

    Stansted Airport is a single-terminal airport, so arrival is straightforward. A paid express drop-off sits beside the terminal; the charge is inside your fixed fare.

Timing

When should you leave Knaphill?

Working back from the airport: allow about 4 hours 15 minutes before a short-haul departure and 5 hours 15 minutes before a long-haul one. That is the journey at its slowest plus the standard two- and three-hour check-in windows.
